IMPROVEMENT IN RELlSHlNG-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 218,284, dated August5, 1879; application filed J une 3, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SIMEoN L. LEAGH and ALBERT W. GRIFFIN, of Corry, inthe county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Relishing-Machines; and we do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itpertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form part of this specification.

Our invention relates to an improvement in relishing-machines, and isintended more especially for use upon sashes, blinds, and doors; and itconsists in the arrangement and combination of parts, that will be morefully described hereinafter.

Figure 1 is a plan view of our invention. Fig. 2 is an end elevation,and Fig. 3 is aside elevation, of the same.

or represents a suitable frame, in the lower portion of which isjournaled the driving drum or pulley c, from which run the belts whichare to drive the different operating parts. Journaled in the upper partof this frame a are three separate and independent shafts, each onebeing run by its own belt.

Upon the shaft d are secured the two saws e, which are set obliquely,and at any desired angle that may be preferred, for the purpose ofcutting out relishes in the tenons of doors and blinds, or any kind ofwork where a portion of the tenon requires to be cut away. These sawswill be placed a distance apart proportioned to the angle at which theyare set, and the width of the tenon desired, and may be used to relishboth sides of the tenon at once; or either saw "may be used on one sideonly of the tenon.

In front of these two wabbling saws is placed a table, f, upon whichthere is a stop, and upon this table is placed the piece that is to berelished, and pushed up to the saws, when the whole work is finished ata single operation.

All that has to be done to relisha door-rail is simply to drive itagainst the stop 9, and the saws will cut away the portions to beremoved.

In order to form the tenons for sashes, the piece is pushed up to thesaw 11 on the shaft n, and the tenon is sawed to the proper width. Theoperator then puts his foot upon the treadle 0, and, by means of thecranked lever r, forces the shafts, which has the bit it on its innerend, up against the piece being sawed, and the bit cuts away thatportion of the tenon desired to be removed. This bit is square on theend, as shown, so as to cut the tenon squarely off, instead of merelyboring ahole in it. As soon as the pressure is removed from the treadle,the spring 2; moves the shaft back to the first portion at once.

As the thickness of the material usedvaries considerably, the table w,around the saw 1', is hinged at x, and provided with means, y, at theother end for raising and lowering the free end of the table up anddown, as required.

We are aware that two angling saws secured eccentrically to their shaft,and placed in close relation to each other, for the purpose of roundingoff the edges of fellies, are not new, and this we disclaim. Our sawsare placed far enough apart to out two relishes at the same time, oronly one, and are secured centrally upon their shaft.

Having thus described our invention, we claim 1. The combination of thesaw ion the shaft 42 with the movable shafts 8, provided with a bit, 6,and a treadle or other means of moving the shaft, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination of the saw 0', biton the shaft s, and table 10,movable at one end, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands.
